Thought Leadership

Policy and the Energy Expansion

Full Post
PEP's Consulting & Advocacy team emphasizes data-driven decision-making in addressing energy policy, advocating for an energy "expansion" that includes all sources to meet increasing future demand and ensure reliable, sustainable, and affordable power amidst severe weather disruptions.

PEP’s Consulting & Advocacy team prides itself on allowing empirical data to lead decision making.  With that in mind, remaining pragmatic at a time when severe weather events are disrupting power grids and thus, our basic human needs are of critical importance.
